2015 marks the 175th anniversary of Cunard's first transatlantic crossing. To begin this celebration year, all three of Cunard's Queens gathered in Southampton, England on 3 May 2015.

The weather did not co-operate in the morning. The three ships were to proceed up Southampton Water in procession and into the harbor. However, a thick fog and rain obscured the view. Indeed, even after the ships docked you could barely make out Queen Mary 2 (below left) and Queen Elizabeth (below right+ from Queen Victoria.

As the day progressed, however, the weather started to clear and it became possible to see Queen Mary 2 at the Ocean Terminal (above),Queen Elizabeth at the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal (below left) and Queen Victoria at the Mayflower Terminal (below right).

The harbor was open for business as usual. Also in port were Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas (left) and Fred.Olsen's Balmoral (below left).
